New Computer old Mini and No Idea What to do...

-I have an old Gen One Ipod Mini...
-I have a newer Dell Computer...
-I plug the two together and nothing but a gong sound in my speakers...
-No icon in next to my C drive in XP Windows "My Computer"...
-Can't see any signs of the unit in ITunes...
-I assume the are Ipod and Computer are out of sync...
I wish I could pop out the battery of Mini and start over, if that will save tunes on my computer.

New computer, old iPod and iTunes

I have a new PC and I installed iTunes 8 on it but it wont recognize the library on my iPod. It says it can't sinc with another ipod. Any suggestions? Can I transfer a library from one instance of iTunes to another?
Thanks

*It says it can't sinc with another ipod.*
Are you sure that's what it said? Could it possibly have said the iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc?
if so, connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message above press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:

New Computer, Old Music and iTunes 6.0, etc... Help!

This is a multi-part problem.
1. The laptop that my music was stored on died a terrible death. I bought a new laptop, which is authorized for iTunes. I pulled the hard drive from my old computer and transfered all of my music to the new laptop. Now everything shows up with the at the beginning of the song. I get an error message saying that the "original cannot be found" even though the music was transferred correctly (and is showing up in iTunes).
2. In installing iTunes to the new laptop, I ended up with v. 6.0. I got that wonderful "updatiing iPod" message. After being updated, iTunes reinstalled all of the music on my iPod, but also changed everything around. While my iPod shows up in my iTunes folder, the songs on mny iPod don't show up in iTunes.
3. In addition to all of this, I can no longer transfer music to my iPod.
Any suggestions?
Lynn

Lynn,
1. I recently bought a new computer and even though I kept track of my data files, I did end up with a few !'s. Here's how to correct.

2. I take it that you're using auto-syn. It may be that you didn't transfer you data files (xml and itl) which is why everything was changed around. Does it resemble any type of order? Here's a little more reading:

HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.

New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files. Any ideas what's happening?

'JohnTSmith' Thanks for the links. I'll be sure to add more details for future requests!
The computer is an iMac late 2013
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
The video file was a .mov file from a Canon 7D. Essentially I downloaded Adobe Premiere CC 2014, downloaded the update because I tried to open up an older project and then imported one movie file.
Playback from all windows didn't work. But after I tried to change settings in the preferences as 'RoninEdits' suggested but I ended up just searching around and didn't change anything. I stepped away for a second to check on my cookies in the oven and when I came back press play and the video now works. Any idea what happen?
I'm not sure what happen but I'll continue monitoring this issue. I'll touch base if I run into the problem again.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Trying to reload adobe 10 and 7 on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need a serial number

purchased adobe 10 and 7 -- 2012 and 2013 -- trying to install on new computer. old one crashed. shows i need serial number. where do i get it. only have 6 discs.

Adobe is a company... what does "Adobe 10" and "Adobe 7" mean?
If you bought those on disc I don't think they are part of the Cloud
The serial number is usually on a sticker on the disc holder inside the box
If you lost your serial number check https://www.adobe.com/account.html for your registered products

I bought a new computer, and iTunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what i do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything, and I want all that on my laptop..

I bought a new computer, and downloaded iTunes, therefore the new itunes doesn't have my music or anything on there. I want to get everything on my iPhone to my new computer/itunes. But no matter what I do, it won't let me. My desktop has everything that my phone has on it, I just want it all moved to my laptop. Does that make sense? I could really use some help. I don't live with this desktop anymore so I need to be able to use my laptops itunes. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

You can download the software from the website and then type in your old serial number to activate it... that is, IF the installer database will work with your operating system. I am having problems reinstalling CS4 with a new computer running on Win 8.1. When I called customer support, they told me a whole lot of nothing for 45 minutes and then directed me to a chat session. After about 30 minutes on chat, I was basically told they don't offer support for older products. The website says "no known issues" for installation... but that very well may be because they are unwilling to record the issues when someone calls to report them! Good luck with your install. I wish I had CS5 at this point, as it appears there is still support available for it... but you are on the bubble timewise for that to continue. Other downloads

How to load CDs into old mini and transfer to new mini w/o superdrive

My current mini is a 2.5Ghz Intel Core i5, running OSX 10.9.2. I did not purchase the external superdrive.
My older mini is late 2006, running OSX 10.6. It has a superdrive.
Is there a way that I can load CDs into the old mini and then transfer the music to the new mini?
Both computers are on the same home network (connected to the same router), but the only thing that I can do at present is access Quicken which is on the new computer from the old computer.
I've considered copying the iTunes Library from the old computer onto a flash drive and copying that library into the new computer but it doesn't look easy to merge libraries on the new mini.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Owen

You should run first Sofware Update and go to Mac OS X 10.9.5.
You can import then transfer as sugggested or you can RIP to the new computer using this...

Install it on the new machine, if you have run out of Activations then you will probably need to contact Adobe and explain what happened as far as the old computer crash and burning.

I transferred my library to my new computer (old one completely dead!) and the music transferred but not my audio books. They aren't appearing in my purchased history. Can anyone help?

I transferred my library to my new computer (old one dead!) and the music transferred to a new library ok, but not my audiobooks. My purchased history doesn't show any purchasing in this format. Can anyone help?

Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, so you won't be able to redownload them via the Purchased link. Do you have a copy of them on your iPod or on your backup of your downloads/library ? If not, and if they are still in your country's store, then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

New Computer Old Touch

My old computer died. It had my library on it. All is lost there, but my touch has most of what I like any way. Is it possible to move everything from my touch to the new computer, including music and pics? I've tried the Apple tech route and didn't get any where.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the discussions,
See this thread for possible ways: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
Your apps and 3rd party data can be transferred and backed up manually: Disable autosync in itunes, make sure that your new computer is authorized. Connect your ipod, right click onit in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" Apps and purchased content from the Store will be copied over. Back up the same way choosing "backup". Make sure to have at least one contact and event set upon your computer to be able to merge contacts and calendars after the first sync. All media will be removed from your phone during the first sync, restore it from the manual backup afterwards. Music you didn't buy in itunes is one way only, as already mentioned.
